EFM--Adults
EFM (Education for Ministry) is a program of theological education-at-a-distance of the School of Theology of the University of the South. Students sign up one year at a time for this four year program. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy and theology. Students meet weekly, in seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. EFM is for the student who wants to dig deeper into the Christian faith. It trains you to think theologically, expands your faith and your understanding of our Christian heritage, and provides you with confidence to be Christ's minister.
